A Note From Mr. Buffer

Tremont Parent Guidebook:Please take a moment to look over the parent guidebook on the Tremont website. It contains answers to many frequently asked questions, and also provides phone numbers for school personnel.

Access STAR Reports:Parents can access their children’s STAR reports via the Parent STAR access website. If you had an account last year it is still active. If you need an account the process can be found at Parent Access Guide. Reference documents and other information related to STAR can be found here: Parent Guide to STAR.

Mr. Hurley and I appreciate the parent input we receive. Please call, email, or drop by if you ever have a question or a concern. E-mail is best for a quick yes or no, or a piece of information. If the topic is more detailed please call or schedule a time to meet so we can communicate positively and efficiently. Many Thanks!

Tidbits from Tremont

If you need to change your child's daily schedule (pick up for an appointment, change of lunch plans, etc.) or after school arrangements, please e-mail the attendance e-mail tremontattendance@uaschools.org or call 614-487-5170 ext 6060. This will help us relay the message to the appropriate teacher before the change needs to occur. Refrain from e-mailing the teacher, as teachers are not able to check e-mail every hour (or could be absent for the day), and therefore would not receive the message in time to let your child know.

Transportation:(Before and After School) If your child rides the UA transportation buses and you are making changes to your child’s after school care, please notify transportation of the changes.BusStopHelp@uaschools.org.

Get your formal Volunteer Badge! Visit: http://www.uaschools.org/page.cfm?p=1019The entire process only takes a few minutes, and the district covers the expense for you. Once your form is processed, Central Office will contact you by the email you submitted, and ask you to come to CO at 1950 N. Mallway Dr. to get your Photo taken.

Nutritional Services: Families can now access the district’s new, easy-to-access digital lunch menu system! You can find a link to menus for the start of the school year on our website at www.uaschools.org/menus as well as directions on how to access these menus through an app for your phone or tablet. You’ll also find information about how to print the menus and how to learn more about nutritional content and allergens for menu items.

Food and Allergies: In accordance with our district allergy policy, we are not allowing students to bring food to school to celebrate their birthdays. Students can donate a game, or bring non-food items to pass out in class. Thank you for observing our request as the safety of all students is our priority.

Counselor’s Corner

Tremont Families: For the last thirty plus years, the elementary counselors in the district have offered the Y.E.S. program (Youth Education for Safety). The program is offered to all First and Fourth grade students in the district. The students learn about mean behavior, stranger danger, good touch/bad touch, and texting. The program is presented by adult volunteers through role-playing. We, elementary counselors, ask you to consider helping us present the program. It is offered the week of November 13th. Volunteers can present one and/or all five days at different schools in the district--each presentation is an hour long. We ask that you attend a half day training offered the afternoon of Oct. 23rd or morning of Oct. 26th. Please click on the “YES Program” link below, or contact me directly.
